They are best known for their unique use of gags and references notably in Pani Poni Dash!, Maria Holic, Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei, Hidamari Sketch, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Bakemonogatari series.

I don't know much about Shaft, or anime studios for that matter, but I've watched some of their shows and this makes me even more eager to see how the anime will turn out. Personally I think I would have given it to Xebec or Sunrise but again, what do I know. Well apparently they're good with comedy so I think that's good. The comedy is what I like most about the manga.

The fact that the studio that animated the Monogatari series is doing Nisekoi really has me curious though. I can't wait to see those first visuals.

If Tsugumi or Kirisaki do not do a head tilt at least once in the show, I'm flipping tables.

To me, SHAFT is best known for their unusual cut in scenes (like in Bakemonogatari), their signature head tilt, scenes where they do a far-away pan out of a set piece (Madoka comes to my mind for that), and their obsession with strange close up angles of the characters (the close ups of the characters aren't strange, its the angle with which they zoom in that is different).

I'm just surprised (that's an understatement, I'm really surprised!!) that SHAFT are the ones making Nisekoi.

My guess was JC Staff. Or Manglobe or Xebec. But SHAFT never crossed my mind.

Nisekoi is a pretty cool manga. Im not particularly into harem but the story line is not bad and I keep getting drawn back in hoping that something is going to progress in the romance department. Unfortunately that has yet to happen. Although I'm glad Tsugumi is getting her spotlight with Raku Im just glad that whole sister arc with Haru/Raku is over. Haru is really annoying. I know she is supposed to play the little sister role but some of the things she do is just uncalled for and unreasonable.

I'm sorry, but I'm a few chapters away from dropping this manga unless the main plot actually gets some advancement. There has been basically no plot advancement since Chitoge's mom left and it's getting old fast.

Feels like this manga is sticking itself in the same plot development hell that Pastel got in after their confessions.

I'm just hoping that the original character is more of a support character rather than main cast. If she's main cast, be prepared for a changed storyline.

yeah because what Nisekoi needs is yet another female, not important to the main plot, to be there to make sure the main plot never advances.

since this is the anime and if it is 12 episodes, I think I can forgive 1 new addition to the cast as long as they follow the manga in those episodes.

If 12 episodes, they won't even get far enough to be at the filler/fluff stage we are at now in the manga AKA no Haru
Marika would probably be the last girl added before the end of the show if we get lucky and they condense all of those chapters
